hunting rifle accuracy

I'll go halfsies with you...you get to call my wind

Ah yes "The great equalizer"

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^. Because what a rifle can do at 100yds can give a very false impression of what it can do at 600-700-800yds. I've seen a number of rifles print nice tight groups at 100yds and group miserably at extended ranges.

Lotta factors involved with those "extended" ranges besides just the rifle.

Wow this thread has blown up and went directions I was not expecting.

Very true. But the point is that even under ideal conditions, a rifle that can shoot 1moa at 100yds won't necessarily shoot 1moa at 600-800yds. It would be careless to assume that it could without actually testing before going afield.

I hope my latest rifle holds this accuracy out at distance. .154" @100, this is cold bore plus 2. Testing out further next.

It would be a rare day indeed that any of my rifles would shoot that well. Nice shooting!

Wow, I need to re evaluate my zero (approx 3 1/4" high at 100 for a 300 yard zero) method again. I've head-shot quite a few grouse at ranges from around 5 o 10 yards or so, holding about 1 1/2" inches below where I want the bullet to go……..have had a few good grouse meals when hunting! memtb

With that .375 you carry a near miss on a head shot would still be effective. It should blow out the ear drums and scatter its brains.

This gun & load will be 1MOA field conditions.

Excellent shooting Brad. But if you were hunting that red diamond, it got away and probably holed up, never to be seen again.

I had to dial it off that diamond so I wouldn't loose my red diamond!

Oh, don't be coy! You shoot 1/3 MOA groups at 600yds and then ask what's good enough to hunt!
